Old Man Mo Yun?
The booming sound between heaven and earth resonated, and everyone shrank their pupils upon hearing the furious roar of the Saint of the Western Yu, looking towards the demonic cloud in the distance at the city lord's mansion.
Old Man Mo Yun, what does this mean? Is it referring to the city lord of Southern Origin City, Mo Yun Que?
No!
With Mo Yun Que's late-stage great emperor cultivation, how could he possibly attract the attention of such a powerful figure as the Saint of the Western Yu? If not Mo Yun Que, then who could it be?
A thought echoed in the minds of all the powerful figures in Southern Origin City—there was likely only one person in the entire Southern Origin City who could be referred to as Old Man Mo Yun by the Saint of the Western Yu.
“Buzz!”
As everyone's hearts raced, an invisible gust of wind suddenly surged from the city lord's mansion, and in an instant, a shocking whirlwind of air accompanied by a terrifying spatial rainbow swept into the sky, transforming into an ancient figure suspended between heaven and earth.
It was the ancestor of the Mo Yun noble family, Mo Yun Gu Xu.
“Ancestor!”
Seeing Mo Yun Gu Xu, countless powerful figures from the Mo Yun noble family gasped in surprise, hurriedly bowing, their eyes filled with curiosity and confusion.
They too were unclear about whether their ancestor had any connection to the Saint of the Western Yu.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the elderly Mo Yun Gu Xu first cupped his hands towards Qin Chen, then looked with a grim face at the Saint of the Western Yu and coldly said, “Saint of the Western Yu, why have you summoned me? The grievances between you and Brother Qin are matters between you and the Black Dragon Society. As the ancestor of Southern Origin City, I only wish for peace in Southern Origin City and to protect the innocent people. You summon me out, do you want me to harm Brother Qin on your behalf?”
“Besides, considering my remaining lifespan and cultivation, I couldn't even defeat the Saint of the City Dragon before. How would I dare to involve myself in the grievances between the two of you? I only hope you can part on good terms and not involve the innocent people of Southern Origin City!”
Mo Yun Gu Xu’s frail body bent repeatedly as he forced a smile.
The Saint of the Western Yu was furious: “Mo Yun Gu Xu, you owe me a favor from back then. Do you not intend to repay it?”
“Sigh, back then, the top powerhouse of the Underworld invaded the Southern Cosmic Sea, and I was on the brink of death. You did indeed help me once. Even if I die, I cannot repay it, but right is right. If I must harm Brother Qin for this, what would my conscience be?”
“However, considering that you helped me back then!”
Mo Yun Gu Xu turned to Qin Chen, forced a smile, and said, “Brother Qin, you have already made a great enemy of the Black Dragon Society. If you kill the Saint of the Western Yu, then your grievances with the Black Dragon Society will never be resolved. If possible, heed my advice and spare this Saint of the Western Yu. After all, with the Saint of the Western Yu's current strength, if you wish to kill him, it would be impossible. Why not forge a good relationship instead? After all, it's better to resolve enmities than to accumulate them.”
“Mo Yun Gu Xu, this kid is very likely to possess a divine emperor treasure!” the Saint of the Western Yu urged anxiously.
Mo Yun Gu Xu shook his head, “So what if he has a divine emperor treasure? That belongs to Brother Qin; it has nothing to do with us. I just want Southern Origin City to remain intact and for countless innocent people not to be involved. Brother Xiyu, you too—why cling to these external possessions?”
“Brother Qin, heed my advice and spare the Saint of the Western Yu. Let today’s matter come to an end.” Mo Yun Gu Xu looked earnestly at Qin Chen.
“Clap, clap, clap!”
Qin Chen couldn't help but applaud.
“Old Man Mo Yun truly is compassionate and kind-hearted.” Qin Chen clapped while laughing, but his smile was laced with mockery, “What a good suggestion to do good for others, but what if I say no?”
